2016-06-15

First, install flashplugin.

1	sudo pacman -S flashplugin

Then if you launch firefox, you will find out that there’s no sound when playing flash in it. Launch it from the terminal, you will find out the reason.

1	Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So you need to install libvdpau-va-gl

1	sudo pacman -S libvdpau-va-gl

Launch again, everything is fine now.
